"And what's that?" Vanessa asked with crossed arms, to which Viktor replied with a subtle smile, "Well, I have been having a cramp on my shoulders. If you were to help make your teacher feel better by giving a massage—"
"I will do the 20 rounds," Vanessa coldly spoke before Viktor could even complete his sentence and left out the door.
Viktor chuckled, seeing her reaction, not that he expected anything different. At least she would think twice before bunking his class again.
Meanwhile, in the Snow Healthcare hospital, Taya was sitting down with Umilia in the hospital cafe, which was a large open space with lots of tables for people to sit around and drink their coffee or eat snacks.
The two simply decided to have a coffee together as Taya didn't come home last night, and when Umilia asked why, Taya remained speechless, making her understand why.
The presence of these two enchanting beauties was obviously garnering stares from the people around, but it seemed as if these two were in their own world.
And right now, the two were looking at the large television in the cafe, which was displaying breaking news.
"Vision BioSolutions or VBIOS for short is undergoing a sudden change in its upper hierarchy in such an unexpected time. Their current CEO, Don Spielberg, will be stepping down from such an important role this week, and the new mysterious CEO is said to take on the role within a month. As of now, we don't have any clue as to who the new CEO would be, but we have gotten rumors that whoever it is going to be, they will be the new face of VBIOS. Now the public's main question is the reason for this sudden change in their CEO. Does it have something to do with the big reveal VBIOS has been teasing for a while?"
"And for those who don't know, VBIOS has only given us the word 'soon' without any solid date or estimation for their big reveal. As for if this 'soon' will be tomorrow, or a week, or months or years…it is something only they could know. Now on other news…"
"Ha…I just feel that something is wrong here. VBIOS is actually a good company founded by people who really care about improving the lives of people, but it is the certain people inside it that could make it rot from the inside," Taya said with a sigh as she saw the news.
"You tried to take down that division, right? The one that was conducting illegal experiments?" Umilia asked as she sipped her coffee.
Taya nodded, "Of course. But it's obviously of no use. Even if on the outside the division doesn't exist anymore, they could simply start it under some shadow division and continue the experiments from there. So I really have no clue what those guys are up to. I still have Eva working on it, and maybe all of this could be connected to other dangerous parties we never thought of. We have no idea how deep this whole thing is. I only wish I knew where to start and see if I could do something about it."

Umilia placed her hand on Taya's as she said softly, "Hey, you don't have to take risks like that."
"But it's my fault. Who knows what they could have done with my research. Even if it's incomplete, that's what makes it more dangerous. I really regret even working on those things, and now all I can do is stay put and watch," Taya said with a frustrated expression.
"Don't do that to yourself, Taya. You love Viktor, and it is only natural that you would want to be with him forever. Even I would have done the same thing had I been in your shoes. I cannot imagine leaving him behind. Your mistakes are nothing compared to mine. I guess when we are in love, we tend to do stupid things," Umilia said in a nostalgic tone while Taya softly smiled as she knew that Umilia was talking about her tragic past life. Her words made Taya feel a bit better, yet her mind still hadn't stopped thinking about how the mysterious woman in the hills told her to not get involved with whoever stole her research. This only made her feel even more anxious.

"But don't worry. I will try to investigate these people through Trisha and see if I can get more details on her brother or what he was working on. His disappearance doesn't seem natural. I am sure she would also like to know the answer as well," Umilia said with knitted brows.
"You will be careful, right? I know you are capable of taking care of yourself, but Viktor—"
Umilia patted Taya's hands, "Let's keep this between us for now. Unless we find something, we don't have to burden him with anything. You know how he would poke his nose into anything we say, no matter how insignificant. Once he gets hooked on something, he won't let go till he gets to the bottom of it. Besides, he's busy taking care of the girls, and distracting him is the last thing we want."
Taya nodded with a contemplative look, feeling that Umilia was right.
"But you are technically a witch, right? So you can't ask for help from your Fujo Clan? At least you must have some authority as their senior figure," Taya asked as she remembered Umilia's true background.
Umilia shook her head as she softly chuckled, "I might be a witch, but ironically I am the most disconnected with my own clan or the things happening within them. It's like I have been living in exile the entire time, and I have no idea what is going on within my own clan or even other clans. I don't have any authority in the clan since I am supposed to be dead. Besides, they are having their hands full right now after you know…with Viktor and my grandniece's engagement and all."
"Then I guess it will be up to us," Taya said with a raised brow.
